Rakhsasa of Momotaro Folktale

The full page of this illustration was contained about Momotaro folktale and the rakhsasa/demon.

The illustration concept itself is try to decoding the folktale as a mature people matter between their optimism energy VS the reality. Optimism energy was something that slowly dissapear from their childhood creative yet positive spirit into something new they called maturity and reality that they've never enjoy about. Meanwhile, to get back into their childhood memory and took their own childhood spirit along their mature mind was the only option to kept moving forward by an optismism.

Two kind of those side were symbolised as the mighty fierce rakhsasa and the little friendly kid named Momotaro, as the story told in every childhood of us.
